1 Dairy Queen before it could be transferred?
2 A Yes.
3 Q Did the Strickland Drive Dairy Queen
4 playground have to come into compliance with the CPSC
5 before American Dairy Queen would give that approval?
6 A American Dairy Queen wasn't approving
7 playgrounds or disapproving playgrounds. That was an
8 option.
9 Q So, it is your testimony and opinion from the
10 documents you have been shown that the Strickland Drive
11 Dairy Queen could be transferred even if the playground
12 was not in compliance with the CPSC?
13 A My opinion is that the playground was not part
14 of the transfer. It might have been part of the assets
15 by sale purchase agreement, but it wasn't part of the
16 transfer of the franchise agreement.
17 Q And my question is: Would American
18 Dairy Queen allow the Strickland Drive franchise to be
19 transferred if the Strickland Drive playground was not
20 in compliance with the CPSC?
21 MR. LIGHTY: Object to form.
22 A My understanding is that those two were not
23 connected at that point in time.
24 Q And we are talking about back in 1999?
25 A Uh-huh.
